Lesley Roy is an Irish-American singer-songwriter who first gained wider attention in 2020 with her song 'Maps,' which she performed for Ireland at that year's Eurovision Song Contest. She grew up in Dublin and started writing her own songs as a teenager. Her debut album, 'Metropolias,' came out in 2023.
Her catalog includes tracks like 'Unbeautiful' and 'Story Of My Life,' which lean into straightforward pop songwriting about personal themes. She has worked with other writers and musicians, but the music stays centered on her voice and lyrics.
Roy's band includes guitarist Ben O'Leary, bassist Christopher O'Ryan, drummer Shane O'Neill, and keyboardist Adam Brennan. They back her on recordings and live shows without drawing focus from the songs themselves.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
